Then I had to look in the mirror to make sure I had it right.

Right? It was perfect!

I was very excited. I put the paper in my pocket with my treasure. Then I left the house.

“I’m going to Goat’s,” I yelled as I ran down the steps.

I sneaked to the corner, going from tree to tree because I didn’t want Goat to see me. I peered around the last tree.

Goat was there, waiting by the mail­box.

I ran quickly to his house and rang the bell. His sister, Rachel, opened the door. I was not happy about that.

“Goat’s not here,” she said.

“I know. I just need to come in for a minute.”

She waited until I was halfway through the door, and then she shut the door on me. She did this to me a lot, but tonight—because of the Popsicle—she did it so hard it hurt.

I rubbed my chest. It seemed all right. The treasure did too.

“I know he’s not here, Rachel.” I pulled out the bag. “I’ve got to hide this in the freezer.”

“You have been in our freezer enough today,” she said. She gave me a look any ogre would have been proud of.

“Look, I’m sorry about your Popsicle. I really am. It was an accident.”

She gave me another ogre look.
